New Car on Order.....
I've taken the plunge and ordered a new car for delivery in March/April 2016. It's the new Ford Focus RS and it's the first new car I've ever had. Reasons ???
I have money in the bank that's doing nowt !!! I'm 62 and having a mid life crisis and anyway you can't take it with you !!! I did consider Audi S4 or BMW 320i Xdrive as I want 4WD but liked the look and spec of the Focus. Anyway "the striped on" will be moving on when the new car is available. There's nothing wrong with it and I still like owning/driving it but time to move on. I still have the MGTF for MG events etc. |

New Car
Will
that looks gorgeous, and with a bit of poke to boot, also like the colour, but thought you might have gone for one like this or maybe if you feeling a little more flush and want a Ford Hope that you still come to meetings with the new Motor Stu Last edited by Fusilier; 1st November 2015 at 14:09.. |

Stu, thanks for that. That Jag is seriously awesome but I imagine well out of my price range. I did consider the new Mustang which is available in right hand drive for the first time. 2.3 Ecoboost turbo or 5.0 V8 Not sure about the meets but MG Northumbria and MG Harrogate are definitely on my calendar.

Well done that man! I am also 62 and thinking about doing the same, but it won't be a 345bhp. I will settle for something around 200 BHP. You are right you can't take it with you - keep telling my wife this!

I absolutely love it.
Personally, when funds allow I'll run the ZS180 or ZT-T along with another brand - probably an R35 Nissan GT-R or (as a bit of a curveball) a Phaeton W12. As they say, no point being the richest man in the graveyard.
